Hennessy Artistry Malaysia ft Kat DeLuna, DJ Sky Nellor & Broken Scar December 16, 2007

Was driving to work on a Friday morning when I heard about the Hennessy Artistry party at Zouk that very night. Actually, I saw the poster for this event when I was at Zouk with Fuzz on the 1st, but there wasn’t much details so I just put it out of my head. Don’t know why, I suddenly felt like going when in fact I had planned to go for the Body Combat Launch at Jaya 33 that night. You can check out the Star online article about it here.

Started searching around for kaki. First in my mind was none other than Kim since I went with her to Shanghai for the Hennessy Artistry party there last year (thanks to MTV). Also, after that event, Kim was the one who forwarded me articles of other H.A. events happening in Malaysia. Kim was pretty enthusiastic about it, called Grace (her sis) and her friend (YC) to go as well. Wow. Even I myself was stunned that everything so last minute also could be arranged. Thank God for it being a Friday as well because I could leave work, drive to Taman Paramount to grab my new contact lens (yes! I no longer need to be a four-eyed leech!) and still had time to leisurely get ready back at home. *proud*

Wah, even had time to camwhore before leaving.
Why do I look so naturally cunning? -____-

Anyway, regretted going for the event la!! It is nothing at all like the Shanghai one, and I’m not even comparing things like the artistes who performed or the quality of the artistes (DJ Sky Nellor played at both events, I was most excited to see her cos she ROCKED Shanghai ok! Everyone was dancing for more than 1 hour straight with no signs of stopping!). It was EVERYTHING ok. Not starting on time, making people wait donkey years between each act, people actually PARTYING in Shanghai… *goes on and on* Damn stupid la, they advertised the event to start at 9:30pm, but the first act only came on past 11pm. They didn’t even bother to introduce DJ Sky Nellor properly and gawd, the tracks she played were so different from the ones in Shanghai. I only properly got into the mood during Golddigger or Umbrella (which ever came first). Sigh, after listening to that “Never Scared” Chris Rock skit, I really can’t dance to ANY random shit anymore. If you haven’t watched that skit, go watch, it’s fcuking hilarious, especially the one where he’s dancing and singing, “Smack her with a dick! Smack her with a dick!” Damn WTF.

Ya, I digressed. Sigh. I just feel damn guilty cos I dragged 3 other people in with me, and they aren’t like hardcore clubbers who knows that this is actually a pretty TYPICAL thing to happen for a club event. It’s like complaining that the rain fell downwards and ruined your laundry instead of falling upwards la…
Here’s my blog entry on the Shanghai event last year.
And here’s my blog entry showing the screenshots from the MTV video they took of us at the Hennessy Artistry party.
Oh yeah, free entry for us girls, poor YC forked out RM35. So we didn’t get any intoxication that night. But it’s ok la, the Hennessy City cocktails we all also tried already last year. *actions*

Since we arrived too early (they hadn’t even finish setting up), we bummed at the Terrace Bar, where I made a mess with an RM4 hotdog and drank two beers. Shit I’m getting too into the damn things.

Kim and I at the Terrace bar. Dum dee dum. Thanks to YC for helping us take this photo. The other 2 are ‘low profile’ + camera shy. So sad. No group picture.

So nice though, met potential kakis to go to Luna Bar with! Next year ya! *jakuns*

First act of the night – Broken Scar. I always thought Broken Scar was one guy only! *blur* See how much I know about Malaysian music? *la la la* There were so many bloggers there that night, throw a stone also can hit one easily. Ya ya, I know la nowadays blogging is so common that anywhere you throw a stone also can hit one, but these were famous bloggers ok! *shy* Anyway, I digressed again! The music was quite cool, though couldn’t really hear what they were singing about. Too bad no one was on the dancefloor! But at least the crowd joined in to sing for one of the songs. *my memory-filled-with-holes is unable to conjure up the song title even though I was singing shouting along as well*

Guess the blogger?

None other than Jen on assignment! Hope you enjoyed yourself more than I did! I’m laughing at this pic because my hand looks like it’s holding an invisible knife wtf. Killer.

Me wasting time with Kim while waiting for Kat DeLuna to come up.

Eh, I actually really like that annoyingly infectious catchy danceable hit of Kat DeLuna’s – Whine Up ok!! I have it as my ringtone and Raymond can attest that I nearly got into a car accident driving back from Mines because I was singing Whine Up (Elephant Man’s lines since my voice so deep rofl!). So I was *quite* excited to see her perform. And she definitely didn’t disappoint – Kat is a really cheeky performer, a SUPER AWESOME SEXY ENERGETIC dancer and she is just so NICE to the crowd ok! She’s just so goddamn likable! *swoons* She started with Whine Up, sang a few of her other songs (don’t remember the titles), a few ballads (where she dedicated it to this guy standing RIGHT in front, and he was so goddamn high after that, tee hee) and ended with the Spanish version of Whine Up. Am I remembering correctly? There’s this new song of hers that is DAMN nice called Run the Show, seriously look out for it. So danceable! *hip roll!*

She’s got the finest booty I fear.

Phwoar. I really like this picture that I took. I can actually take pictures in clubs now! I mean, CLEAR pictures. Not SLR quality, but I’m not complaining.

If you were her dancer…

…you’d wanna touch her too.

Some kinda emotional ballad.

I think those are her earphones trailing on the ground…

Another pic I took that I absolutely love.

She looks so cheeky here! Oh ya, I remember she sang a song called “Feel Me” because when she introduced that song she felt her own boob up. Hahaha!

“This next song is for you, Eugene. Cos I see you in the crowd eyeing me. I know you like me.” Hahaha. She’s damn cute! Btw, she’s also really short! I think she’s shorter than me, and I’m like 5ft 5″ only.

Eugene’s look of rapture during the entire song (I reckon. I wasn’t looking at him for the entire song la wtf.)

Wound up. Or should it be whined up?

After her set was done — in fact, during the last song, DJ Sky Nellor had already taken over the decks. Didn’t get much good pics of her. Didn’t even dance for her entire set because I had already delayed the others by a good 1.5 hours. :O Danced for about 20 minutes, and even then didn’t really enjoy because there was this drunk gwailo who went around trying to get gals to dance with him. Seriously, he hit on EVERYONE. He came to me twice – once, pulling my hand and the second time, he did this really dumbass motion to get me to layan him. *rolls eyes* YC, Grace and Kim laughed so hard when I showed it to them. -_____-”

But even he was better than this chinese guy who snuck up on me when I was shaking non-existent ass to Tambourine okay. I know la he want me to rub up against him, cos he was ALONE and was like slowly positioning himself. *rolls eyes again* Why ah people don’t like to directly ask me to dance so that they can FEEL THE REJECTION. Well, we left before he got too near la.

Actually, thinking back, it was quite fun also la. When we were dancing and enjoying Kat DeLuna’s performance. If there was less of a wait between Broken Scar and the Kat performance, it would’ve been perfect. Of course, when we COMPARE back to the Shanghai event it is simply different and yes we’re biased because they treated us like VIP there. So I shan’t compare anymore. Just enjoy and be happy with what I had that night.

I astound myself — I went to bed at 3am, but was up by 9am!! That way, I managed to do finish all the random crap I have to do before leaving – ie: laundry, cleaning the toilet, packing, going to the money changer AGAIN. And I still had time leftover to go for the Launch of Les Mill’s 4th Quarter Releases at Jaya 33. The one on Friday that I wanted to go for was Body Combat, on Saturday they launched Body Attack, Body Jam and Body Step. Thought of doing all 3, but there’s this pain in my left calf now, when I run, it is there, just niggling away. -___-”

It was a super fun launch — very enjoyable. I think the members will really enjoy themselves in those classes for the next month or so. =) And there was a SANTA CLAUS in the class – I believe its one of the instructors dressed up. At the end of the class, he gave us CANDY.

Ok, I’m out! Gotta get up by 5.30am tomorrow morning, praying hard to God that I don’t forget anything. I hope I’ll be able to blog a bit here and there when I’m at Simon’s place, but honestly, I hope to be so busy that I won’t have time to do so!

Take care, play nice and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year in advance!
